I remember during the merger the disdain the lCal pilots were treated with, even told that we didn't know what a real union was and how much better things were going to be under the UAL MEC.

I think there’s been a bit of politicking and Things seem to have been pretty chummy at the top, but I imagine the fresh blood and added scrutiny will be changing that soon. I for one would say let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater

Not sure that is a huge swath of voters either, the 6:00 am first day report (vs 10:00am now) certainly has a lot of people voting no. That's a toss up issue at best.

The TA vote having to stay open is driven by the C&BL.

10 bucks says they make that voluntary, and then present us with EXACTLY the same TA2022.

Just kidding, The Negotiating Committee is bye bye.
